Matthew, Ebert is my favorite person on this planet. I've been reading you for a few years now and I hope you are able to get some great connections from Ebert's feature. You deserve success from all the impressive work you have done on your blog. Happy New Year to you. You have given me so much reading pleasure from your earliest reviews, to your latest, an inspired analysis of All that Heaven Allows. Brilliant! Thank you! (And thanks to Ebert, I know what you look like.)Shawn McGuire

Down to about 1 bloody movie a month now? C'mon bud, even president Obama could do more than one a month and I dare say he's busier than you. My personal Criterion collection is over 100 strong now and I guess the difference between you and I is that I actually like the movies. You don't really seem to. Your distaste for Seijun Suzuki's masterworks did raise my hackles.
